<td>File System</td>
<td>Filesystem</td>
<td>The name of the Linux file system. In Linux systems <b>/dev</b> is the directory of device files. </td>
<td>Name of the Linux filesystem. For better clarity, lets take a closer look at the filesystem name from the example above:
<ul>
<li><b>/dev</b> - the directory of device files. Everything in the Linux filesystem is either a file or a directory; /dev is the location of device files. Every device is represented by a file in the /dev directory</li>
<li><b>sd</b> - identifies block devices<span class="asterisk">*</span> (capable of carrying data)</li>
<li><b>a</b> - the letter immediately after sd signifies the order in which the device was first found (a, b, c, ...)</li>
<li><b>1</b> - signifies the partition on the device</li>
</ul>So the full string <b>/dev/sda1</b> denotes the first partition of the first block device<br><span class="asterisk">*</span> SD cards will be identified as MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices and the identifier will begin with the <b>mmcblk</b> string instead of sd

<td>Mount Point</td>
<td>Mount Point</td>
<td>Directory available for mounting additional file system</td>
<td>A mount point is a directory in the currently accessible filesystem on which an additional filesystem is mounted (i.e., logically attached). The <b>/mnt</b> directory and its subdirectories are intended for use as the temporary mount points for mounting storage devices. The mount point becomes the root directory of the newly added filesystem, and that filesystem becomes accessible from that directory</td>
